So this is my very first fanfiction and I've been dying to upload this all day but that could've just been the nerves of actually thinking of uploading my work.
This will be a Naruto x Life is Strange crossover as you can tell and to be honest I'm not too good at these explanation thingys soooooooooooo
QUEUE INTRO!
Examples:
Human talking: "Kuruma"
Human thinking: 'Kuruma'Demon talking: "Kuruma"Demon thinking: 'Kuruma'Jutsus: "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
It is hard to remember how it even began, what caused man to become such violent animals, this war has now taken more than just the lives of those lost in battle, it has defeated hope. What began as a madman's pursuit of false peace, has left families in turmoil, fighting for what little freedom they have left, if any at all. Those at home can only hope, but those in the frontlines know, that even if the enemy is defeated, there will be no winner of this war,
all have been lost in this idiotic battle, many fight for their freedom even more run hoping to get away from all this because they know, even if they defeat the enemy before them no one is going to come out a winner in this war, the stakes were too high, the price they have paid so far just to hold back the enemy they've faced has been too much some more than others but the pain and loss is till very much there for all combatants. Even now as their only two hopes battle it out, now with this: Monster, Demon, Goddess, in all respect Towering God of an enemy, the fear is still very much present and right now this is where the story begins with the end of a war and the loss of a Sun in many people's lives, that'll leave their future days just that much darker.
As Naruto and Sasuke Clash against Kaguya with everything they had, Kaguya, with barely any wasted movements, gripped both Naruto and Sasuke's next oncoming attack and hurled them at breakneck speed into the side of a mountain. As Naruto attempted to recover from such an attack, clumsily pulling himself from inside the mountain face he was embedded in, he looked upon his enemy in despair, beginning to comprehend Kaguya's true potential, and that despite being bestowed the blessings from Old Man sage, any attack would be all but futile.
"DAMMIT!" he cursed clenching his fist as hard as possible, glaring at his knuckles turning pale from the pressure, releasing a sigh, he sends a grim downwards look towards the ground realising what he has to do "Sasuke!"
Turing to his partner, Sasuke saw the Grim look plastered on Naruto's face and even in the midst of battle, he couldn't help but think how that look just does not suit his friend.
"what is it Dobe?" he asks in his usual monotone voice, "So I was thinking that there's only one way to end this fight and save the elemental nations" Naruto comments holding the final Uchiha's gaze with a sad smile.
Getting a bit impatient, he hurries his blonde friend along "Are you gonna tell me Dobe or just look all doom and gloom all of a sudden?"
Feeling his irritation flare he reins himself in before continuing "Well Teme I was thinking that if you get me enough time I can call upon the Shinigami to aid us with the Dead Demon Consuming Seal"
Realising that the blonde Dobe in front of him was being serious Sasuke Narrows his eyes at his friend, " You must have really hit your head you bloody dobe, you can't be serious?!"
Giving an awkward laugh and sheepishly rubbing the back of his head. "We have to end this now Sasuke before more lives are lost and well, I am the only person who has the most chances of surviving the sealing of Kaguya/Juubi"
Grabbing Naruto by the collar "You really are a dope, aren't you the one who was always running around the village screaming about being Hokage one day?!" letting out a short Snarl
"My dreams haven't changed Sasuke and nor will they in death, but there won't be a village let alone anything left if we don't stop her now, besides now you're here and you can look after the village for me so please Sasuke let me do this and Promise me you'll look after the village even if you have to become Hokage and tell Granny Tsunade, I won't be there to make sure she keeps up with her duties, so she better not slack off..also let her know she was the closest thing I had to a mother and i'm sorry I won't be the one she passes the title of Hokage down to" finishing with a smile that clearly shows how saddened he really is but also how determined he was.
"Hn" was all Sasuke said before shoving the blonde Dobe away from him "please Sasuke" "Just hurry up I'll buy you as much time as possible" He said, disappearing in an Amaterasu Shunshin.
"Thank you Sasuke" Naruto whispered at the flaming trail he left
After the sealing
Naruto felt nothing but Pain, unbearable Pain that he wouldn't wish on anyone... Well maybe that freaky Snake Sannin.
For everyone else able to see what was happening to their hero, left them speechless.
First, Naruto's sun kissed hair grew to about the same length of his late Sensei's while his bangs turned up representing horns in a gravity defying way, then all colors seemed to bleed from his hair, leaving it a beautiful white colour, but what happened next was probably the most terrifying thing most have seen.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A pain curdling scream left the former blonde's mouth as his cerulean blue eyes started to lose colour and soon his pupil faded out of existence, but what was next to come shocked everyone, perfect circle after circle slid from seemingly behind his eye until four perfectly placed rings positioned themselves and 3 Tomoe seemed to form on each ring which ominously spun as his cries got softer until he eventually passed out from shock and pain.
Then the Shinigami unsheathed his shortened blade and sliced the air next to himself and Naruto, where a tear remained in the sky, as he tossed Naruto into the black hole before it snapped shut and disappeared. Turning to face all the alliance Shinobi "The Price has been paid. " he said as he himself withdrew into green flames and vanished mysteriously.
Above Arcadia bay 2011
Howling, that's all Naruto could disconcern at the moment, but not some animal like howl, but like he was hit with a 'Great Breakthrough jutsu'. As his eyes started to flutter open he soon realised where exactly that howling was coming from, as he peered up into weirdly enough the night sky, which confused him greatly because the last thing he remembered was sealing the Juubi within himself and then...that's when the pain just erupted from his body and he blacked out. Storing those thoughts till he SAFELY reached the ground, he positioned himself so he was now facing the quickly on common ground and not wanting to add more to his long list of problems he had to quickly think of a way to slow his descent. "shit shit shit shit!"
"how do I stop?! Think, think think think Dattebayo" 'Shinra Tensei'"Wha, kuruma is that you?" 'Not now kit hurry up and use that jutsu' "alright, alright" positioning his hand so he now had it outstretched towards the ground, which after breaking the cloud cover he could see a town and a lighthouse looking over the ocean from a cliff side near where he was destined to fall, he channelled Chakra towards the outstretched hand and with a booming voice he called "Shinra Tensei!" after a few seconds passed and nothing he began to freak out "Aaahh, you stupid fox it doesn't work and now we are gonna end up drowning!" 'Your eyes kit channel chakra to your eyes' figuring it was his best hope he repeated the action and with amazement, where there was nothing before, now from his palm an invisible force collided into the ocean just as he reach cliff night and not looking a gifted horse in the mouth he used the invisible force to propel himself towards the cliff side and land safely on solid ground.
*pant* "I can't" *Pant* "believe" *Pant* that worked 'ttebayo" Our blonde protagonist chocked out propping himself up on his elbows.
"Kuruma do you know where we are in the elemental nations?" he finally asked after catching his breath.
'No Kit I don't but I am sure of one thing'The mighty Biju stated cryptically
"Which is?"
'I am sorry Naruto but we aren't in the Elemental Nations anymore' He finished somewhat saddened about not being in his world anymore as well.
"what do you mean we aren't in the Elemental Nations anymore, what about the war and everyone else?!" he screamed somewhat angry laced with utter confusion at his partner.
'Calm down kit you stopped the war and from what I saw before this whole mess, everyone was safe, but about that Kit the Sealing had some other unforeseen effects on us... you might wanna check yourself out' If possible the Fox sounded a bit Sheepish.
Pulling out a Kunai and placing it in front of his face the outcome was almost immediate "Whaaaaaa, Kuruma whoa.. wha... what... I have some mutated Rinnegan and Sharingan"
scrambling to his feet as fast as possible he catches a patch of white from the corner of his eye and immediately grabs it and with a tight pull to bring to his eye level which ends with a painful "owwwwwwwww that hurts 'dattebay!" 'Pfft Baka' was all the Fox could say regarding his container right now
Rubbing the top of his head and while fighting back animated tears he soon feels two horn like bangs sprouting from his hair, "what the hell Dattebayo?!, Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Once the smoke created from the Jutsu vanished Naruto's Jaw hit the ground as he was viewing himself in all it's transformed glory. Starting with his hair, so much hair... was now almost as long as Pervy Sage's and seemed to hold a Godly like shine in its pure white strands with his bangs imitating horns.
Still not entirely over the shock of having some Rinnegan, Sharingan Crossbreed, Naruto decided he wasn't gonna touch that can of worms until after. The next thing he Noticed was that he still had his whisker birthmarks if only a little thicker also for whatever reason he seems somewhat taller possibly standing at a height of 6'2" instead of his usual 5'11" which definitely made him feel better about this situation seeing as he wasn't one of the shortest in the Konoha 11 anymore.
Next which was a little shocking, but manageable considering his other changes would be his outfit which was still his regular outfit with a mesh T-shirt covered by his Orange and black jacket and his baggy ninja pants, but that was just it, gone was the orange to his dismay, replaced by white with several Magatama circling his neck with an identical Necklace hanging around his neck hidden from view by said clothing.
'Kit before you go freaking out I think-'Was what Kuruma was trying to say before Naruto interrupted him.
"I am okay, but I think you should save the speech for later... I think I am about to pass out" With that Naruto's face abruptly kissed mother nature barely missing a bench he missed in all his confusion.
'Well, might as well take a nap'Was the bored response of the great entity Residing in Naruto's "gut"
Next Day: Afternoon (2011)
"ugh shitty Black-Hell and it's shitty people! I don't know why the hell I even stick around I should just get the hell outta dodge.. *Sigh*"
The venting came from a very disgruntled female, teen, The teen stood at 5'9" maybe 17 with Strawberry Blonde hair, but visible shades of blue could be seen mixed among her bangs, her face was very angular for her age giving her a very beautiful appearance which was complimented by her light sky blue eyes and full lips. Her figure wasn't toned per say, but there wasn't any excess baby fat anywhere on her body. She was clad in a long sleeve black top where the sleeves seemed excessively long, extending to where it covered her knuckles. (AN: Think Violet from The Incredibles)
Her jeans that she chose to wear on this particular day had definitely seen better days, there were noticeable tears on her thighs that just seemed to be caused by timely wear and tear.
To pull all this together, she had chosen some black combat boots which had also seen its fair share, but not to an extent that would warrant new shoes given they were notorious for their durability.
Continuing her hike up this path to Arcadia bay's very own Lighthouse, she just couldn't shake the frustration and anger of the day she had. 'Ugh, first Step-Douche keeps hounding me every chance he gets both at home and school since he got that job as head security guard and damn Rachel blowing me off for her silver spoon asshats from the Vortex Club' she thought to herself as she reaches the top of the hill where the lighthouse stands in all its rustic glory with a few larger rocks and it's equally rusted little shack, bearing some obvious signs of graffiti.
None of that mattered to the blonde teen at the moment all that she cared about was getting off her feet after a long day and just relaxing, so with that in mind, she marches over to the lone bench staring out over the cliff's edge, approaching the bench, she chucks her bag aiming to rest on the bench, but that was not to be as the bag just over shoots it and expecting to hear that solid *Thump* of bag meeting hard ground she was surprised when what came instead was a very audible "Oomph"
Now slowly approaching the park bench, she comes into view of the object her bag had hit and surprised just wasn't quite the word she'd use, but sadly said teen couldn't think of any other fitting description right now. Laying there in front of the bench was a teen guy around her age, she'd guessed, since said guy was passed out back to her, With the whitest hair, she had ever seen in her life and length to match, even for most girls she knew, this guy's hair definitely reached his tail bone spiking out in many different directions. (AN: style more like Madara's but Jiraiya's length)
"Definitely dyed" She muttered out to herself before she approach the sleeping teen and proceeded to kick him lightly to try get some kind reaction out of the unconscious figure, but the only response was a light grunt from the white haired sleeping beauty. Not feeling in the mood to have some, weirdo ruin her "chill time, " she proceeds to kick him again this time with a tad more force.
"Stop it Sakura, Dattebayo, five more minutes" Was what she was rewarded with this time.
"Who the hell is Sakura? HEY! idiot wake up! you can't just sleep out here like this and anyways this is my space you need to scram". she said kinda forcefully and with success as he started to grumble and with great resistance rise, still facing away from her.
"Geez Sakura come on Granny Tsunade won't care if I am a little late" finally turning to face her she got to finally see the rest of this mysterious figure, instead of just the back of his head and since the teen in front of her was still waking up, he had yet to stop stretching which caused audibly pops, which she guesses was because of the whole sleeping outside on the ground but she didn't take notice of that or just didn't care. When she finally took in all of his features a small blush had spread across her cheeks, he was definitely taller than her standing at at least 6'2" or 6'3" with an Adonis kind of body that she could Hella admire, which she could clearly see even through his clothes which were kinda strange seeing as they looked like a matching jumpsuit with a White and black color scheme and these strange comma patterns running over the jacket and baggy black with white accent pants, the jacket being unzipped showing the weird mesh undershirt he was wearing that seemed to be pulled up a bit revealing a HELLA toned body that most guys she knew would kill for.
His face was HELLA gorgeous, it being well sculptured and lean without a trace of baby fat on him and these weird whisker? like markings on them that only added a wilder charm to his looks..
"Hella hot" her voice slipped out betraying her and that caused the teen in front of her to stop mid yawn guessing that he didn't recognise the voice in front of him and when he finally opened his eyes, she gasped at the weird design of them, they were a pale shade of purple with Multiple circles filling his whole eye around his pupil and again 3 of those comma markings lining the first 4 circles. Needless to say she was left speechless.
Naruto's P.O.V
"Geez Sakura come on, Granny Tsunade won't care if I am a little late" Naruto managed to grumble out to his mysterious alarm clock. 'Damn and I was having such an amazing dream about Ramen as well'
Stretching to rid himself of his morning stiffness which for some reason he felt quite a bit like he had slept on the floor last night 'oh well doesn't matter lets see what Granny wants' 'Kit don't you remember yesterday, last night? we-'before Kurama could continue the voice that filled Naruto's ears definitely wasn't Sakura's nor anyone else he knew from Konoha so immediately he tensed his body prepared for anything and snapped his eyes open.
He was right, it definitely wasn't Sakura given the Girl in front of him had strawberry blonde hair and what seemed to be Blue? and she looked nothing like her, but seeing as she definitely did not pose as a threat he relaxed a little.. seeing as she wasn't holding herself as a Shinobi nor Samurai and the chakra he felt and could see from her was non existent... 'Wait, see chakra?' was his given thought then everything came back to him like a hit from Granny Tsunade, the war how he won, the sealing and most of all the transformation he undertook.
Now remembering just what kind of position he was in he re-focused on the girl in front of him with a new purpose, answers that's all he cared about right now and damm.
"Hey excuse me, can you tell me where I am, what year this is and if you've heard of Konoha Dattebayo?!" he grabbed her shoulders in a show of speed which greatly surprised his new found company.
"Hey, whoa easy there pal how much did you have to drink?!" She replied, pushing away the panicking guy in front of her, until she wasn't in his vice grip 'damn though, I didn't even see him move'
Naruto at least had the decency to act sheepish about his sudden outburst and immediately taking a few paces back, he calms himself down and continues with a tad more restraint.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry, I got a bit carried away there ha-ha... um do you mind answering those questions it would mean a lot right now."
"Suuuuuuure" she replied a bit shocked, but apart from that fine. " You're in Arcadia bay right now the year is 2011 early September and as for Kona-what's it? I've never heard of it sorry, now are you gonna tell me what's going on and why for the love of god did I find your sorry ass passed out up here?"
'Damn Kuruma you're right, we aren't in the elemental nations *Tsk* I wonder if there is a way back.' was the thoughts running through the Shinobi's head right now. 'Like I said Kit but for the going home part I don't think that's at all possible, the Shinigami wanted us here for a reason and I am sure when we are adjusted he will make his appearance and attention known. For now I think we should learn as much as we can about the new world we find ourselves in.'
'The Shinigami? I wonder what exactly he has planned for us. I guess there's not really much we can do about that though, seeing as we are stranded here and he's nowhere in sight. *Sigh* Troublesome' Was the very Nara like thought running through Naruto's head right now.
'When we get the chance I suggest you making a couple hundred "Shadow Clones" and sending them out to the nearest library and dispel them so we can learn about this world as fast as possible and probably think about acquiring some currency since I don't think the currency you have in that horrid toad wallet would work around these parts' Was the very cunning plan thought up but Kuruma since well Naruto definitely wasn't gonna come up with it.
'Hey, you leave Gama-can out of this you hear?! or I'll come in there and kick your ass again Stupid Fox' was the defensive response from our loveable ninja.
' Shut up kit and hurry up and reply to the stranger in front of us, I'm taking a nap don't bother me unless something important happens'finished Kuruma with a growl before he cut the mental link and fell into a nice slumber.
'Oh yeah, I almost forgot!' "Sorry can you repeat that ah... sorry again, but I didn't get your name" he laughed out albeit a tad awkwardly.
Rolling her eyes at the dudes obvious space out just hoping he doesn't get even hella weirder, even though now she's visibly nervous under those strange eye's gaze, now that his attention is back on her. " Price, Chloe Price but it's Hella rude bud to ask someone else's name before giving yours, Sheesh, didn't your mom teach you that along with not falling asleep in strange places?" The now named Chloe commented with a frown.
Flinching at the mention of his mother, Naruto stuttered out his response "S-s-sorry Price-San, my name's Uzumaki Naruto."
Not missing the hurt look that flashed across his face Chloe was quick to apologise ONLY because she knew that look quite well, seeing as she sees that look every time she looks into a mirror. " Sorry "Uzumekey" if I said something I shouldn't have *Sigh* today is just a hella bad day for me"
Waving his hands frantically at the now serious teen in front of him he felt a tad guilty for making things turn out this way. " No,no,no,no,no,no Price-San it's fine really I promi- pft hahahahaha" doubling over in his sudden fit of laughter Naruto was unable to continue his sentence any further.
A faint red, dusted Chloe's cheeks, whether from embarrassment as this guy she's never met, right now was making fun of her, or the fact that his laugh at this moment was absolutely soothing to her. Weirdly enough she could honestly listen to him laugh all day with how deep and smooth his voice was in general. Although the embarrassment and rage won out at this point.
"Oi! Are you making fun of me right now huh?! I have no problem with kicking your ass off this cliff ass hole and what's with this "Price-san" crap just call me Chloe" she yelled directing all her anger towards this long haired weirdo in front of her.
Trying with all his might to get his sudden fit of laughter under wraps he picks himself up of the ground and takes a few dozen deep breaths. "No it's nothing like that promise! Just the way you said my name, was just a little surprising is all, Pft, it's "U-Zu-Ma-Ki" not "Uzumekey"" Chloe-Chan"
Right now Chloe could feel all her rage leaving her body as she suddenly substituted it for embarrassment for jumping to conclusions. "Y-y-yeah well it's not my fault your name is hella weird, I mean who in the hell names their kid 'Uzu-what's it' any how?"
Realising the cultural difference Naruto immediately sets out of fixing that while still struggling to hold his laughter in, at the sight of the blonde's flushed and obviously embarrassed face. "Pfttt. I see, where I am from we put our clan names first when introducing ourselves, Naruto is my given name."
"O-Oh, well Naruto is still hella weird but it's pronounceable at least. Heh, sorry for losing my cool again. Boy this is one hell of a bad first impression isn't it?" she asks rather sheepishly scratching the back of her head.
"Well it's definitely something but I've had weirder first impressions, trust me, this is normal by far. Heck one of my closest friends tried to kill me!" Naruto stated quite dramatically
Not taking the comment too seriously Chloe decided to just roll with it thinking it was just his idea of making her feel less awkward about the whole situation, which to his credit did just that. " Hahah, well I hope for your sake you kicked his ass, so he doesn't try that again"
Breaking out into his trademark "foxy grin" that most people from Konoha have dubbed it, that seemed to be quite infectious, as he could see Chloe sporting her own smaller smile, Naruto replied exactly like you think he would "You betcha! He didn't stand a chance against THE GREAT NARUTO UZUMAKI!" He exclaimed quite proudly puffing out his chest and gracefully presenting her the Victory sign.
"Hahaha, dude you're such a dork." Was the only response Chloe could give before breaking out into her own fit of soft laughter.
If Naruto was forced to admit what he was thinking at this moment, it would definitely be along the lines of how much he enjoyed hearing this laughter freely escape her lips. Not knowing what to do, he let his own laughter free and joined her and if Anyone were to be walking past the lighthouse's trail at this moment, then they'd surely hear the sound of unshackled laughter from two teenagers fill the afternoon sky.
Slowly but surely their laughter died down, each wiping away a stray tear from their own respective eye, Naruto being the first to get himself under control decides to ask the question that's been gnawing at the back of his head since the moment he laid eyes on Chloe.
"Hey Chloe, you wouldn't happen to know of a place around here where a guy can get something to eat would ya?" Naruto's stomach choosing this moment to voice it's own protest for food with a loud growl.
Hearing that monster of a growl coming from the rather weird yet funny individual in front of her almost had her cracking up again, tho she managed to control herself, barely. "Sure dude I know just the place and to commemorate this hella awesome although weird encounter this'll be my treat." Although she didn't bother to mention that this particular place just so happened to have her very own mother working there, which means this'll be her treat but he didn't need to know that and she was sure her mother would voice her displeasure about it as well and most likely bombard her with all sorts of questions.
Naruto being the kinda guy he was, wasn't just going to accept this right off the bat, I mean, sure he wouldn't hesitate if Iruka-Sensei offered or even Kakashi, but that's different, he just met Chloe and wasn't going to give off the impression he was some kind moocher like his late Sensei was.
"No, that's alright Chloe, you don't have to go out of your way to treat me besides, weren't you up here for something anyways?".
Seeing his reluctance to accept, she thought she'd give it one more push. "It's hella cool dude, I was just getting hungry myself and I could go for some hella delicious noms right about now"
It was like flicking a switch for Naruto, hearing that definite "okay" from Chloe got Naruto drooling almost instantly and the next thing the teen girl knew, Naruto had her wrapped in a tight embrace yelling all type's of compliments and "thank yous"
Now Chloe wasn't a stranger to physical contact, Rachel for one can be hella clingy when she wants to be but for some reason this was different, this brought a red tint to her cheeks and a slightly faster heart rate.
"H-h-hey, dork put me down, geez it's not that big of a deal" Chloe stutters out.
"Oh, sorry, no one is usually this kind when they interact with me back where I'm from." Naruto Awkwardly states through equally awkward laughter as he puts Chloe down.
"Yeah, well they sound like total ass-hats. Sure, I'm not the easiest person to get to know, but even I ain't a hella bitch straight off the bat unless warranted" She states in a matter of fact tone.
Reaching up and rubbing the back of his head Naruto couldn't help the smile that seemed to make its way onto his face. "I can see that Chloe-Chan. Still, thank you"
"Geez, enough of the manners, we're buds now, aren't we" She states quite frankly causing a smile of her own to appear and increasing Naruto's, getting an affirmative nod from the boy in front of her she continues. " Oh, by the way, maybe we should take out those contact lenses you've got, it can't be safe to fall asleep with them on and besides they're hella creepy" She finished with a very visibly shiver run up her spine.
Naruto remembers that he's in a completely different dimension which doesn't hold chakra and for that matter bloodline, realised just how intimidating these might be for everyone. "Oh, sorry, I'll take them out, go on ahead, I'll catch up" Giving her a warm smile to reassure her, she begins to walk back down the path she came from after grabbing her pack.
"alright, alright, just don't keep me waiting or I'll leave your ass and you can find your own damn food!" She calls out over her shoulder without turning back to face Naruto.
Seeing her figure disappear down the path Naruto retreats back into his Mindscape hoping kuruma will have an idea to deal with his Rinne-sharingan. Once in his Mindscape he immediately runs to the main chamber where the cage once stood, now an open plain with plenty of room for his partner.
Entering the plain his reaction was almost instantaneous, the once blood red Nine Tailed Fox had gone under some of his own changes from the sealing as well, Naruto guessed, lying before him on his paws was a Pitch black Ten Tailed- that thought was crushed when the entity in front of him started to rise and two deep black rabbit ears flopped down beside the creature's jaw and before Naruto could stop himself, he screamed with all his might, dramatically pointing at the large beast in front of him.
"YOU'RE A DAMN RABBIT!" *CRASH* The next thing Naruto knew his world was spinning as a very large first made contact with his body and he was sent hurdling through the walls separating the plain with the path he came from with a booming voice resonating through his whole Mindscape.. "WHO IS A DAMN RABBIT?! YOU HUMAN BASTARD"
Now Kurama wasn't easily surprised, but when a blazing white ethereal spectre like skeletal fist came flying towards him from the direction he sent his annoying brat of a partner flying, well that without a doubt did it for him. "What the hell" Was all he could get out before the fist made contact with the 100 meter tall, now black Ten Tailed Fox.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR DATTEBAYO!" Came the enraged shout from the origin point of the spectre like fist. Seen standing there clearly annoyed and enraged, if his long hair standing tall in a ten tailed like fashion whipping the air around him meant anything, which also sent shivers down the fox's spine due to triggering Kuruma to remember a certain Red Hot Habanero Uzumaki, was Naruto showing signs of clearly being sent through several walls by a newly minted Juubi.
Righting himself back up and sitting in the lotus position with his deep black tails encircling himself, kuruma had the decency to rub the impact spot of the Susanoo's fist. "There's no way in the Shinigami's gut, will I allow anyone to compare the great Kyuubi to a rabbit, you hear that Naruto?" Kurama stated, with every word dripping with intent to kill, to show Naruto exactly how serious he was at this moment.
Walking towards his, at the moment, pain in the ass of a partner Naruto was dusting leftover debris from his intimate contact with multiple walls, out of his long hair and now ruined clothes. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, you stupid FOX" he added extra emphasis on the fox with equal amount of sarcasm, before continuing. " Although you might want to do something with the RABBIT ears dangling from your head, then you bastard fox." he finished just as he was standing in front of the fox's first tail.
"You don't need to tell me, I know, I felt the changes almost immediately during the sealing and I don't particularly want to talk about it. Now, was there a reason you came here, or did you just feel like getting sent through a couple of walls?" Kuruma asking clearly annoyed
"OH RIGHT! Quick Kuruma, is there any way we can deactivate these" Naruto made sure to point directly at his eyes, so there wasn't any chance of a misunderstanding.
"hmm, Father always had those eye's activated and from our experience with Nagato and from what that idiot pervert of a sensei you had also confirmed nagato couldn't deactivate them either. Seeing as you didn't obtain these in a normal circumstance have you tried cutting off the chakra flow towards your eyes?" Kuruma seemed to be talking to himself until he suggested cutting the flow of chakra.
"Of course not, how would I think of that?! I've never had a Doujutsu before, but good idea i'll try that right now." Closing his eyes Naruto feels the flow of chakra flowing towards his eyes and immediately he shut it off. Slowly opening his eye, he sees Kuruma smiling down on him.
"Seems I was right, might want to see for yourself kit."
Gone was the ripple like pattern, receding back into the pupil, followed by the deep purple revealing the white sclera, but instead of Naruto's Mesmerizing blue like he was expecting, a deep and equally hypnotising Mauveine purple iris was left there-.
"Dammit Kami, well, it's something at least and I can just pass this off as a family trait" Naruto said to himself, sounding a bit defeated.
"Well, if that is all get out, I need a long nap after this annoying little encounter" Laying down the giant being shut Naruto out of the Mindscape plain.
Feeling himself return, Naruto runs over towards the path Chloe disappeared down and smiles, seeing she's almost reached the bottom, thanking Kami that the time in his Mindscape moves a lot slower then out here. "Hey Chloe wait up for me!" Naruto calls down as he jogs towards the teen.
"No you catch up!" was her response spinning around to face the descending teen while continuing to walk backwards.
Giving a quick chuckle the ninja indeed picks up the pace and within seconds he's walking beside Chloe, interlocking his fingers and putting his hands behind his head he basks in the comfortable silence the two teens find themselves in.
Chloe being the one to break the silence as she continues leading the teen to the parking lot at the end of the trail.
"So Naruto, mind explaining why you were hella past out at the cliff's edge, rough night?"
Turning his head to face his companion, Naruto gains a thoughtful expression. "Well you can most definitely say that, haha, I feel like I've been fighting a losing battle for a while now and well I guess all the stress caught up to me"
Also turning her head to meet the taller teen's eye's realising now that those weird "contact lenses" were gone he had a hella beautiful pair of purple eye's which were also very unique but decided to pry for more information about that later, right now just wasn't the time given the current mood of the situation. "I know what you mean, ever since my father died and my best friend left me it just feels like the world is out to get me, ya know?
Naruto without warning stopped, which in turn caused Chloe to as well, turning back to her new friend. "Hey Nar-" The next few words died in her throat as she had turned around to see Naruto quickly wipe away a lone tear escape from his eye. Rushing up to the taller teen instantly worried she had "fucked up" as she likes to put it, in some way. "Dude, what's wrong?!"
Still looking at the ground, Naruto manages a hollow smile. "No, Nothing, just remembering something I'd rather not is all"
"I'm sorry if talking about my shitty life brought up some harsh memories for you, I'll try to avoid talking about it" the reaction she got from Naruto shocked her to the core, the moment she finished that sentence, he had wrapped her into a tight embrace, tho this wasn't just a simple hug she received from her mother or Rachel, to try giving her some hug she was receiving right now was one filled with so much emotion she herself couldn't stop the tears from escaping. For the next minute the two remained like that, with Chloe burying her face in his chest and Naruto with his face buried on the top of her head.
After the connection broke Naruto placed his hands on her shoulders, getting her to look him straight in his eyes. "Chloe, You don't have to walk around on eggs with me, If you're sad, talk to me about it, don't go bottling it up, that doesn't work believe me, if you're angry, yell at me until your throat is sore and your anger is dead and gone and if you ever just need someone there for you, I can be that someone" Holding her gaze just a few moments longer watching the emotions flash across her face Naruto's face settled into a wide grin.
"that's what friends do for each other am I right?!" He asks, standing tall and smiling down on her.
Looking down towards the ground with a rather intimidating glare that could give old Sasuke-Teme a run for his money, she replied in a disconnected tone.
"Most of the people in my life usually end up dying or abandoning me so I wouldn't know"
Seeing this Naruto frowned, before crouching down in front of her so he could meet her gaze. "I've been where you are Chloe, I also know we haven't known each other long enough to spill our guts to one another, but there's one thing I do know, you haven't had a friend like me and I ain't going anywhere and that's a Promise and I never go back on my word, that is my nindÅ! My ninja way!" Once again that big goofy, infectious smile made its presence known.
For some reason beyond herself, Chloe felt she could believe those words, if everything else was falling down around her, she knew she could depend on this: Weird, goofy, hyperactive guy crouching in front of her. Before she knew it, that same goofy smile was on her face as well, accompanied by a few stray tears, but these tears were missing the gut wrenching feeling of hopelessness, that overwhelming sadness squeezing your heart daring it to just break, instead right now she felt content.
While still smiling, she truly focused on his mesmerizing eyes and gave a sigh of content and defeat. "Ugh 'Ninja way?' let's just go get some hella noms you huge dork, I hate all this mushy crap anyways." She gave a huff and turned on her heels.
Standing up Naruto could tell her words weren't filled with any negativity so he settled with a more subtle smile and followed after her letting out his own little sigh. "Hai, hai." and with that, the two disappeared down the rest of the trail.
